Why is the city of Baxter involved in Kuepers Inc. building Sprucewood Townhomes? City governments should not be involved in regulating housing projects, or raising taxes to pay for a single company’s project, or zoning, or permits, or regulating architecture. The state government should not issue tax credits to some businesses and not others.

Halloween, because they can hide their real agenda behind masks to scare away evil spirits, like conservatives. April Fools, because they’re only fooling themselves.

Fortunately, for the country, the Tea Party will do something about putting politicians in jail who steal billions and trillions from the American people.
